For the inaugural episode of Today show’s “Style me Something Good” I was honored to work with four viewers, who in their distinct points of life have style challenges. Read on below to see how I matched trend with need and helped each woman achieve a new look of her dreams!

THE NEW MOM: MELISSA

Head-to-toe neutrals are trending as are utilitarian ensembles, both combined with this sleek, one-piece look! I chose a front-zip ensemble for easy breastfeeding for this new mama. Don’t forget the headband, a ubiquitous hair accessory staple for the season that helps keep her long hair back.

Because she is always carrying baby, a necklace that lies flat is safest! Here, a trendy, one-in-all layered necklace or lariat!

While backpacks are one trend, this one is actually a stylish eco-friendly diaper bag made of plastic water bottles, and includes a reusable food tower, once her baby starts eating solids!

The navy sandals are a stacked heel, offering her more stability as she runs about taking care of her newborn.

STYLE OVERHAUL: JULIE

It’s an elegant makeover for Julie, with garden florals, tiered ruffles and a a satiny-silk elegance. Add in neutral sandals that she can pair up with other new outfits – they are so versatile. Pearls are a tremendous trend in jewelry, and I love this contemporary take. Lastly, a beautiful bag in cream or tan—you should be seeing this hobo style everywhere and it’s nice as it has lots of capacity for storage.

BACK TO WORK: MONICA

It’s knitted, colorful separates for Monica as she returns to work, as they also hug her new body after an amazing  weight-loss! She can throw a blazer over it and wear into fall. Link or chain jewelry is so hot right now, and add a hip element to this look. An oversized bag enables her to throw in her laptop and other essentials for the office.
